@ophiuchus I can try to explain it better if you want

actually let's take this to the language channel on Identity Vdmvrtia

Haha!

verbs are dumb

nouns and prepositions only

well and the identity verb I guess is/are

It's fitting that English is the language of America really because it's a hybrid of so many European languages just as Americans are mostly Euromutts

hmm

I think that applies to any language in a sense

but maybe English in particular?

Yes English has a lot of influence from Latin to Viking languages to Saxon to French all mixed in with the base language.

The English Isles have traded hands many times.

next arabic

Looks like it's trading hands again soon... <:sad:366743316475281408>

This won't even be an invasive force like the past, they are handing over their country to outsiders this time.

You know, I actually read a bit about Chinese grammar recently, and it seems like Weihan Zhang has a pretty good understanding of it. He uses english words with chinese syntax

I’m still like 95% sure he’s actually a white guy though

English always struck me as a germanic language desperately wanting to be a Romance one.

okay guys I just wrote an effort post about verbs only having an infinitive

DM me to join Slav server and read it

>effort posting about slavic verb conjugations
I wonder what black twitter is up to?

Rioting for Smollett

Something something racism

English has a huge amount of romance influence- mostly from Normal French but also some directly from Latin

@Perihelion - CA Probably the same thing. They're wondering what we're up to. They probably think we're talking about hating minorities or not seasoning chicken or something, but really we're debating grammar.

I guess they'd be partially correct, I am indeed not seasoning chicken at the moment.

That Allsup video made me laugh today. Imagine a latinx getting offended by the confederate flag.

And then calling whites fragile.

Who's mans is this?

@TIDE I am team Asian Andy 2020. He has the most long term economic outlook out of anybody that has ever held power in this country IMO

I just used the DNA link between race and intelligence as an example of moralistic fallacy in my philosophy class and I think the kid sitting next to me nearly had a stroke

@Sam Anderson Yeah, I might vote for him too. So far he's seems to be the only candidate with new and interesting ideas and policies.

Will this topic be discussed at the conference? I understand that it's controversial, but I feel like we need to discuss spreadsheets

Whoah, it is so bizarre to see Mr. Taylor without grey hair

123 RIP

@Drover Tom I had a professor use the race and IQ gap as a prompt for a leadership class. I basically said that the Bell Curve proves racial IQ gaps, but it is not the central point of the book, and that being a leader means accepting things that are unfortunate but true.

Oops accidental
